Ep 5: Yoga for Self Talk (Movement) 28:41

Play Pause

4d ago28:41

28:41

Ever find yourself talking yourself out of things before you even start? That’s your inner monologue doing what it does best—protecting you from discomfort. But that protective voice can also hold you back. In this movement session, we’ll use strength and repetition to intentionally fire up a little internal resistance. Then, instead of backing off…

Ep 5: Self-Talk – Best Friend or Harmful Foe? (Insights) 17:44

11d ago17:44

17:44

Does your inner voice ever feel like it has way too much airtime? Mine sure does. I’ll replay old conversations for weeks, plan out every possible comeback, and then analyze it all again on repeat. It can feel like a full-time job just keeping up with the chatter in my own head. But here’s the thing: that inner monologue isn’t just background noise…

Ep 4: Yoga for Perfectionists (Movement) 54:52

15d ago54:52

54:52

Perfectionism wants everything to be neat, certain, and under control. But yoga asks us to step into the opposite: the messy, the confusing, the imperfect. In this practice, we lean into poses that may feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar—not to master them, but to notice what happens when things don’t go “just right.” You’ll be invited to wobble, to g…

Ep 3: Perfectionism – From Paralysis to Progress (Insights) 21:35

21:35

Ever put off a dream because it wasn’t “ready” yet? Or kept tweaking a project long after it was good enough? You might be caught in the perfectionism trap—where high standards and fear team up to keep you stuck. In this episode of Yoga for the Stressed and Obsessed, Jenn shares an honest, behind-the-scenes story that exposes how perfectionism hide…

What if everything you’ve been told about yoga… is only part of the story? In this kickoff episode, I share the messy, real-life story behind this podcast—and why I almost gave up on yoga myself. Spoiler: it wasn’t the poses that changed my life. It was learning how to use movement and mindset together to stop reacting and start leading with clarit…

Ep 2: Our First Yoga Flow — Learning to Lead Yourself (Movement) 24:27

27d ago24:27

24:27

This is a physical practice episode — a short vinyasa flow built around a modified Sun Salutation A. We’ll start standing, explore a few shapes together, move through a flowing sequence, and even take a moment to repeat the flow on your own. We’ll close with a bit of strength and settle into a child’s pose to finish. But here’s the thing… If you're…
